highly recommended

Dream came true

It is one of the best book that explains wait events in detail including how to get rid of them. I could not help myself finishing the book in two days and want to read it again and again. it satisfies the inner desire of getting expert and built confidence for real life.
It is a must have it book.

Great Book

One of the best books in the market that details the OWI in a very lucid manner.

More importantly one of the very very few books that helps not only identifying the problem but actually a solution for the same. Most of the books in the market talk about the wait events which also can be got from Oracle documentation and Metalink, but this is one of the very very few books that also provides a cause for the event and ways to alleviate it.

The authors have also taken great pains to provide good e.g and good code that can be very easily converted to a toolkit that could prove to be a very good companion

Kudos to the authors for writing such a wonderful book and would highly recommend it for anybody wanting to understand the OWI gold mine.

Fantastic work

Comprehensive Reference...Required Reading

If you are serious about solving Oracle performance issues, this book is required reading. If you are not serious, read it anyway so you can understand why you need to get serious. This book is not just an explanation of each wait event, but why it occurs and where to look for solutions. The coverage of the extensive changes in 10g and collection methods cannot be found anywhere else. This book lives up to the title!

Richmond, Kirti and K. take the time to research everything that they present. They do not simply rehash Oracle documentation, nor do they make unfounded assertions. This scientific approach offers reassurance that what you read is what you really see, not some slick marketing designed to sell you additional products or services.

The book is packed with examples, scenarios, code (especially the direct sga attach program).

The bottom line is that the book shows you why you should use the wait interface, how to use it, what to look for and what it means to the system.

If you like YAPP, just get it!

if you're into the whole wait event thang, get this book. This is a great resource. Very interesting reading! Chapter 4 presents an event data collector (page 86: Sampling for performance data using pl/sql procedure), a very nice idea. The logoff trigger discussed in the same chapter is nice too. Chapter 5 gives a good overview of some of the most important I/O related wait events. Chapter 6, Locks and latches. Chapter 7, latency related wait events. And then there's tons more, look inside the book and see what I mean...
All in all, this is one of the best Oracle books of the past six months. My other favorite would be 'Oracle Insights' from Oaktable press.

I've implemented the data collector mentioned inchapter 4 to diagnose some performance problems. If you're interested, you can download the code for free from my website, www rhdba dot com. Look under Oracle SQL Scripts -> Event data collector.

Other must have books:
- Tom Kyte's 'Expert one-on-one' and 'Effective Oracle by Design'
- Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt 'Optimizing Oracle Performance'
- Oaktable press 'Oracle Insights'

Great read

This is truly the only good book on wait interface. Very well written and explained very succinctly...

Chapters on IO and latch related wait events are great reads..
This book is top notch along with oracle perf tuning 101 and practical oracle 8i..
